Description

A ground track adapted for mold automation robots Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mold automation production technology, specifically relating to a ground track adapted to a mold automation robot. Background Technology

[0002] In today's modern mold manufacturing process, automated mold robots play a crucial role, accurately and efficiently completing complex tasks such as mold handling, loading and unloading, and processing assistance. However, the existing automated mold robots are equipped with ground-mounted rails.

[0003] During mold handling, the height of the floor rails may need to be adjusted. Furthermore, in the machining of some precision molds, the floor rails must be able to be flexibly adjusted to specific tilt angles to achieve the optimal machining perspective and precision. Fixed-structure floor rails cannot meet these dynamically changing needs, limiting the operational efficiency of automated mold robots. In addition, when adjusting the production workshop layout or upgrading equipment, floor rails with fixed heights and angles often require significant manpower and resources to dismantle and rebuild, resulting in high costs and prolonged production stoppages, severely impacting the company's production rhythm and economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ground track that is compatible with automated mold robots. This device can adjust the height and angle of the ground track according to production needs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a ground rail line adapted to a mold automation robot, including a ground rail, a ground rail trolley installed on the ground rail, a mold automation robot installed on the ground rail trolley, and an adjustment component provided below the ground rail;

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment disc, a sleeve fixedly connected inside the adjustment disc, a rotating cylinder installed inside the sleeve, a first gear connected to the lower end of the rotating cylinder, a first motor installed inside the adjustment disc, a first lead screw connected to the first motor, the first lead screw meshing with the first gear, and a rotating component connected to the upper end of the rotating cylinder.

[0007] The rotating cylinder is fitted with a rotating shaft in the middle, and a second gear is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft. A second motor is installed in the adjusting plate, and a second lead screw is connected to the second motor. The second lead screw meshes with the second gear. A main bevel gear is connected to the upper end of the second gear, and a driven bevel gear meshes with the main bevel gear. A transmission shaft passes through the middle of the driven bevel gear, and a bushing is fixed on the transmission shaft. A hydraulic rod is fixed on the bushing, and a connecting plate is connected to the top of the hydraulic rod. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the ground rail.

[0008] The adjustment component can adjust the height and tilt angle of the ground rail, and can also allow the ground rail to rotate horizontally.

[0009] Furthermore, the sleeve is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the adjusting plate, and there is a certain distance between the sleeve and the bottom surface of the adjusting plate. The first gear is located below the sleeve, and the second gear is located below the first gear.

[0010] Furthermore, the ground track is composed of several identical parts, each part containing two parallel steel rails, with a support plate connecting the two steel rails. Several sleepers are vertically fixed below the support plate, and the sleepers are linearly distributed along the length of the steel rails.

[0011] Furthermore, a rail joint is installed on the side of the rail, the rail joint is provided with a straight groove, a connector is installed on the straight groove, and the connector is provided with a linear protrusion that is engaged in the straight groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned ground rail trolley includes a support plate mounted above the steel rail, an automated mold robot mounted above the support plate, and roller sets mounted at the four corners of the support plate. The roller sets include upper and side rollers made of rubber, which can hold the support plate on the steel rail.

[0013] Furthermore, a drive motor is mounted on the support plate, a cylindrical gear is connected to the drive motor, and a rack is provided on the rail, which meshes with the cylindrical gear.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating component is U-shaped in general, including a flat plate with vertical plates welded to both ends.

[0015] Furthermore, a fixed frame is connected to the adjustment plate, and a telescopic bracket is fixed on the fixed frame. The top of the telescopic bracket can contact the bottom surface of the connecting plate, and casters are installed at both ends of the fixed frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this utility model is that by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod and adjusting the extension rod to make it contact the connecting plate, the height of the ground rail can be adjusted.

[0017] By controlling the adjustment component below the ground rail, the second motor inside the adjustment component drives the main bevel gear and the driven bevel gear at the upper end to rotate, causing the connecting plate to drive the rail to rotate around the horizontal axis, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the ground rail.

[0018] By controlling the first motor to drive the rotating drum to rotate, and simultaneously controlling the second motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating drum and the rotating shaft rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotating component can drive the bevel gear to rotate horizontally, thereby causing the connecting plate mounted on the bevel gear to rotate horizontally. The connecting plate can drive the rail to rotate horizontally, and the horizontal angle of the ground rail can be adjusted.

[0019] This invention allows for height and angle adjustment of the ground rail according to production needs. The ground rail is also easy to disassemble and move, accommodating various dynamic changes and enhancing the operational efficiency of the mold automation robot, thereby improving the production pace and economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-5, a ground track adapted to a mold automation robot includes a ground track, which is the main body for the movement of the mold automation robot 25 and provides support for the entire device. A ground track trolley is installed on the ground track, which can move horizontally along the ground track. The mold automation robot 25 (robotic arm) is installed on the ground track trolley. An adjustment component is installed below the ground track, which can adjust the angle and height of the track to adapt the ground track to different working conditions.

[0029] The aforementioned ground track is mainly composed of several identical parts. Each part includes two parallel linear steel rails 11, with a support plate 13 connecting the two steel rails 11. Several sleepers 12 are vertically fixed below the steel rails 11, and the sleepers 12 are linearly distributed along the length of the steel rails 11. The sleepers 12 can support the steel rails 11 and distribute the load. A rail joint 14 is installed on the side of the steel rail 11, located at the top of the steel rail 11. When two adjacent steel rails 11 are aligned, the rail joint 14 can be butted together. The rail joint 14 is provided with a straight groove, and a connector 15 is installed on the straight groove of the steel rail 11. The connector 15 is provided with a linear protrusion, which can be locked in the straight groove. Both the rail joint 14 and the connector 15 are provided with threaded holes, and the threaded holes correspond to each other. The connector 15 and the rail joint 14 can be fixed by bolts, and the three parts of the ground track can be firmly connected into a whole by the connector 15. A railcar is installed on the ground rail.

[0030] Specifically, the ground rail trolley includes a support plate 21, which is rectangular in structure and mounted above two steel rails 11. An automated mold robot 25 is mounted above the support plate 21. Roller assemblies 22, including upper and side rollers, are installed at the four corners of the support plate 21. These rollers secure the support plate 21 to the steel rails 11. Both the upper and side rollers are made of rubber to reduce friction with the steel rails 11. A drive motor 26 is mounted on the support plate 21, with its shaft passing through the support plate 21 and close to one side of the steel rail 11. A cylindrical gear 24 is meshed with the drive motor 26. A rack 23 is fixedly connected to the steel rail 11, extending along its length and meshing with the cylindrical gear 24. When the drive motor 26 operates, it moves the support plate 21 along the length of the steel rail 11.

[0031] Each of the aforementioned sections of the ground track is equipped with an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly includes two parallel fixed frames, with a disc-shaped adjustment plate 31 fixedly connected between the two fixed frames. The interior of the adjustment plate 31 is a hollow structure. A cylindrical sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the center of the interior of the adjustment plate 31. The sleeve 32 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the adjustment plate 31, and there is a certain distance between the bottom surface of the sleeve 32 and the bottom surface of the adjustment plate 31. A rotating cylinder 33 is installed inside the sleeve 32 and can rotate within the sleeve 32. A first gear 34 is connected to the lower end of the rotating cylinder 33. The first gear 34 is located below the sleeve 32. A first motor 35 is installed on the bottom surface of the adjustment plate 31. A first lead screw 36 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 35. The first lead screw 36 meshes with the first gear 34, and the first motor 35 can drive the first gear 34 and the rotating cylinder 33 to rotate. The upper end of the rotating cylinder 33 is connected to a rotating component 37. The rotating component 37 is U-shaped and includes a flat plate. Vertical plates are welded to both ends of the flat plate. The rotating cylinder 33 is connected to the center of the flat plate. The middle of the rotating cylinder 33 is a cylindrical through hole that passes through the flat plate.

[0032] A rotating shaft 41 is sleeved in the middle of the rotating cylinder 33. The rotating shaft 41 can rotate inside the rotating cylinder 33. The lower end of the rotating shaft 41 is connected to a second gear 42, which is located below the first gear 34. A second motor 43 is installed on the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 31. A second lead screw 44 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 43. The second lead screw 44 meshes with the second gear 42. The second motor 43 can drive the second gear 42 and the rotating shaft 41 to rotate inside the rotating cylinder 33. A main bevel gear 45 is mated above the second gear 42. The main bevel gear 45 is located above the flat plate of the rotating component 37 and between the two vertical plates. A secondary bevel gear 51 meshes with the main bevel gear 45. A drive shaft 46 passes through the middle of the secondary bevel gear 51, and both ends of the drive shaft 46 pass through the vertical plates at both ends of the rotating component 37. The drive shaft 46 is rotatable. A square bushing 47 is fixedly installed in the middle of the drive shaft 46. A hydraulic rod 48 is installed on the upper end face of the bushing 47. A connecting plate 50 is mated to the top of the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 48. The upper end of the connecting plate 50 is fixedly connected to the rail 11. The height of the rail can be adjusted when the hydraulic rod 48 extends or retracts.

[0033] The second motor 43 drives the second gear 42 and the rotating shaft 41 to rotate inside the rotating cylinder. The rotating shaft 41 drives the main bevel gear 45 and the driven bevel gear 51 to rotate. When the driven bevel gear 51 rotates, the connecting plate 50 can drive the rail 11 to rotate around the horizontal axis, which can make the ground rail tilt.

[0034] The first motor 35 drives the first gear 34 and the rotating cylinder 33 to rotate inside the sleeve 32. At the same time, the second motor 43 drives the second gear 42 and the rotating shaft 41 to rotate inside the rotating cylinder, so that the rotating cylinder 33 and the rotating shaft 41 rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotating part 37 connected to the upper end of the rotating cylinder 33 can drive the bevel gear 51 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 50 installed on the bevel gear 51 to rotate. The connecting plate 50 can drive the rail 11 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0035] In addition, a telescopic bracket 49 is vertically fixed on the fixed frame. The top of the telescopic bracket 49 can contact the bottom surface of the connecting plate 50, but is not fixedly connected. The telescopic bracket 49 can support the ground rail and distribute the weight of the ground rail. Fuma wheels are installed at both ends of the fixed frame. When the ground rail needs to be moved to a new position, the entire ground rail can be moved quickly and the installation can be completed.

[0036] Working principle: When adjusting the height of the ground rail, the operator controls the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 48, and simultaneously adjusts the extension rod to make it contact the connecting plate 50. When adjusting the tilt angle of the ground rail, the adjustment component below the ground rail can be controlled simultaneously. The second motor 43 in the adjustment component drives the upper main bevel gear 45 and the driven bevel gear 51 to rotate, causing the connecting plate 50 to drive the rail 11 to rotate around the horizontal axis, thus tilting the ground rail. When adjusting the position angle of the ground rail, the first motor 35 can be controlled to drive the connecting plate 50 to rotate, and the second motor 43 can be controlled to drive the upper main bevel gear 45 and the driven bevel gear 51 to rotate, causing the rotating cylinder 33 and the rotating shaft 41 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotating component 37 can drive the driven bevel gear 51 to rotate horizontally, thereby causing the connecting plate 50 installed on the driven bevel gear 51 to rotate horizontally, and the connecting plate 50 can drive the rail 11 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be primarily defined by the scope of the claims.
